If you follow the law, wear proper protection and exercise caution, snowmobile operation is often safe. But hundreds of accidents happen every year in Canada, many resulting in long-term disability or fatality. Though usually the result of operator error, snowmobile collisions with other vehicles or objects may find a different party at fault, including the manufacturer. We’ve worked with many snowmobile accident victims and families to fight for deserved compensation.

Will Davidson LLP – Snowmobile Accident Lawyer

Each winter, Canadians look forward to the entertaining activities and sports that can be done outdoors in the snow. Whether we’re playing hockey, taking our kids tobogganing or going skiing for a long weekend, there is no shortage of fun to be had. Unfortunately, many of these pastimes can cause serious injuries that have legal implications. Especially snowmobiling.

Snowmobiling is an exciting hobby that sees Canadians riding through the snowy trails of Ontario each year. Inevitably, due to the risky nature of the activity, a large number of riders experience serious injuries due to the negligence of others.

Each year, there are approximately 50 snowmobile fatalities in Quebec and Ontario with another 1,200 instances of injury requiring hospitalization. When care and caution are not diligently exercised, it is clear that this recreational activity has the potential to do serious damage. Legal action in the form of third party tort litigation can be taken when things go wrong. This is why it is so important to hire a snowmobile accident lawyer.

Snowmobiles are required by law to be insured in a similar manner to other vehicles that operate on our highways. This is specified in The Motorized Snow Vehicles Act found here. Insurance policies for motorized snow vehicles are very similar to auto insurance policies, and those making injury claims are entitled to many of the same benefits. A snowmobile accident lawyer can help victims earn proper compensation.

Causes of snowmobile injuries

Snowmobile accidents are often the fault of either the manufacturer, improper maintenance of trails or the operators themselves. Common causes of snowmobile injuries include:

poorly maintained trails

poorly manufactured snowmobiles

driver intoxication

nighttime operation with reduced visibility

equipment failure/defective parts

excessive speeding

Compensation for snowmobile injuries

The harsh reality is that snowmobile injuries can change or even end lives. The damage incurred is often life-lasting and in the event of negligence or wrong-doing, victims are entitled to major compensation. They will, however, need a snowmobile accident lawyer who is experienced in these cases and willing to fight to get them what they deserve. Compensation for snow mobile injuries can include:

what to do after snowmobile injuries

Victims must take certain crucial steps in order to better their chances of a positive legal outcome. Collecting photographic evidence and documenting what took place are both essential, as is contacting a lawyer right away. Receiving immediate medical attention and keeping track of all costs is important as well. Waiting too long after the event may weaken your case or cause you to lose the right to sue, entirely.

Whether you are taking legal action against an insurance company or a negligent third party, time is of the essence.
